“I didn’t go into medicine just to be on the phone”
Guided by communication accommodation theory, we studied 27 physician reports of patient-physician advanced cancer communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. Advanced cancer communication requires recognizing patients' psychosocial states and collaboratively engaging patients empathetically to develop the shared understanding necessary to guide decision-making. However, physicians found their communication underaccommodated, stemming from person…
Power and racial differences in the communication experiences of Black and White patients living with advanced cancer and their care partners
Problematic Integration
We describe racially discordant oncology encounters involving EOL decision-making. Fifty-eight provider interviews were content analyzed using the tenets of problematic integration theory. We found EOL discussions between non-Black providers and their Black patients were often complex and anxiety-inducing. That anxiety consisted of (1) ontological uncertainty in which providers characterized the nature of Black patients as distrustful, especially…
Competing Cultural Worldviews in the United States
The objective of this study was to explore inductively the complex ways in which everyday discourse reflects larger - and often competing - cultural worldviews. A phenomenological framework was used to analyze transcripts generated through 13 focus group discussions involving 100 individuals. This particular analysis highlights how individuals who adopted a transnational worldview worked to transform cultural divisions through criticism of existi…
White American Style in Rhyme
What follows is an experiment in presenting data in a nontraditional way. Accounts of the intraracial experiences of White college women were adapted to various traditional forms of poetry including the villanelle, rondeau, and roundel. These traditional 16th-century French poetry forms featured pastoral verses or tales of romance that were often sung and accompanied by music. However, in following the lead of 19th- and 20th-century English and A…
Accepting the Challenge of Centralizing Without Essentializing
Black feminist thought represents one of several feminist standpoint theories. Collins’ (1986) conceptual framework of Black feminist thought renders an insightful vantage point into the experiences of “ordinary” African American women, and the focus of this essay is to offer a collaborative analysis of the salience and utility of Black feminist thought in communication research. A recent case study that focused on African American women’s commun…
